Project web site
I accepted the action to set up the intial Jena incubator web presence.
Reading http://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html, I note that:
"""
The sources for every podling site sources should be maintained in the
podling's SVN
"""
I also note that we're being encouraged to use the new CMS [1]. However,
I've read the documentation for the CMS now, several times, and I'm
still not sure what needs to happen for us to get at least a minimal
incubator site up. What do I actually need to *do*? I understand that
some Markdown needs to be in SVN somewhere, but where, and what else
needs setting up so that i.a.o/projects/jena.html will work? Mentors:
suggestions and hints please?
Thanks,
Ian

I must say that I quite like the idea of using SVN as data store for
the website content and that everything happens automagically as you
commit to SVN. :-)

That's not entirely true. In fact you can have an instance of confluence
and then statically publish from there. Infra provide sufficent backup
and recovery for COnfluence for us to treat it as a first class IP trail.

Well "encouraged" might not be the right word. Certainly you should
consider it over other options. It provides much more flexibility than
Confluence because people can checkout from SVN and provide patches.
However, it is new and is not a feature rich CMS.
That being said, it was built by our own infra team so you can expect
rock solid support for it.

I have never set up a CMS site, so this may be the blind leading the
blind, but...
However I can point you to some docs that *appear* to answer your
question. (I say appear because they are in docs you have read, so my
speed reading may be giving me the wrong impression).
Where to put content:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/site/trunk/content
(I'm assuming that you are going with a module based SVN structure as
per other thread)
see http://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html#layout for more details on the layout
See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stanbol/site/ for a
working example.
(note this example was created by Bertrand, one of our mentors, although
I know he is caught up at the moment and not likely to get to this mail
for a short while)
Bertrand also wrote some notes for the Stanbol podling which I linked to
in an earlier dicsussion on this topic - you might find them useful
